Eddie did tile flooring in the master bedroom. He took 6 days to finish the project. He is a hard worker and wants the customer to be satisfied. The time frame to do the work was extended by 2 days, so I would recommend setting a fixed rate for a project like this. The quality of work was good and I would not hesitate to hire him in the future.

Responded right away and was well priced and showed up promptly the next day. Took care of the plumbing job efficiently and was good quality work. Reason I am taking one star off the rating is because his workmanship on installing the sealant around my kitchen cooktop was inconsistent. Two sides were great the others were not and there was sticky sealant on some other spots on my countertop.

David and his worker Juan provided exceptional work in the demolition and installation of new wood-look ceramic tile flooring and porcelain flooring. David was prompt, thorough and flexible. His worker Juan provided great work with high attention to detail. In terms of criticism, demolition was dirty and the job took a little longer than anticipated, but at little to no fault of the contractor. I would recommend for similar work in the future.

Rich and his crew are THE BEST!! We had a small job and most contractors wouldn't even think about helping. Rich came in and was a true professional. He really knows his business! I was able to get three different repairs completed in one day (tile, carpet, and new door hung). Rich was available every step of the way. He answered my questions and genuinely cared about our situation. I can't say enough positive things about this experience. Thank you for turning a stress into something so quick, easy, and affordable.

We recently had Fina Ross remodel our entire kitchen. We knew it was going to be a big endeavor, and Fina helped us from start to finish. All in all we ended up spending about $50,000 and it was all well worth it. They completely ripped out all of our old cabinets and replaced them with new ones after completing a beautiful paint job on them in a dark gray (which I know from experience can be very tasking to paint such a dark color in an enamel). No streaks/cracks/tackiness at all and the final look is spectacular. New granite counter tops and a built-in butcher block. I was very excited about the way Fina was able to suggest design ideas to us and actually create our vision without going too far over budget. Her employees were always courteous and on-time and they were able to work around my husband and my crazy work schedule without disruption. Our favorite part has to be the custom tile backsplash that took painstaking care by both Fina and her guys, and she was there to observe the installation every step of the way. All in all, I would always recommend Fina to do any project and we will definitely use her again in the future!

Mr. Felipe Gracia did an excellent job on our Master Bath remodel. He walked us through the process from design to completion. He was punctual and on the job every day. I would not hesitate to use Mr. Gracia or recommend him to others. We have a new beautiful onyx and tile walk-in-shower. My husband wants to shower all the time! We absolutely love our newly remodeled bathroom.

I also ask each contractor to provide phone number of references before I hire them and did this with David. The first lady I talked with was an elderly lady and she spoke so highly of David that I wanted to ask her to confirm she wasn't his grandmother! After hearing similar good things from others I hired David to do tile work for my bathroom and stone work for the shower. The quality of the work was superb. David is one of those guys who has great skill and the commitment to do the job right. Because I wasn't exactly sure how I wanted to finish the rock shower, David and I agreed on a hourly fee so I could make any changes as we went. I was very impressed when I saw on one invoice that he didn't charge me the whole time he was working one day because he felt like he had made a mistake that caused extra time and didn't feel that I should have to pay for him to fix it. Overall I was extremely pleased with his work. He does a great job and is honest in the process.

We hired Henson Home Solutions, LLC to do an extensive remodel of our home including new windows and trim, painting the entire interior, changing square room openings to beautiful archways, replacing all interior doors, adding ceiling lights to our dark living room and kitchen, installing beautiful barn doors between two bedrooms, and a total redo of our small outdated bathroom to make it look exactly like a picture I had fallen in love with. That included a beautiful tiled walk in shower that we just love. Henson Home Solutions is a great company to work with and we couldn't be happier with their work or give them a higher recommendation.

Chris’s team of Alex and a few other guys did an amazing job. The lines are really clean, when a tile wasn’t right, they fixed it, and they cleaned up well after themselves. Alex was very responsive working with me to be extra tile when needed, text me back when asked for ETAs and worked around me not being home and having a busy schedule. I would hire them again.

They took up my tile and laminate floors and put down new laminate floors. They did an awesome job. They have done many other projects for some of the homes I’ve listed. I’ve always had a great report from the sellers.

Tom Estes did a great job repairing the tile work in a shower. He replied to my request quickly, assessed the repair needed, purchased the tile and completed the repair quickly and expertly. Tom was courteous and professional and communicated with me throughout the work. I appreciated the quick response and excellent work. I would definately use his services again.

I hired Matterhorn to tile my backsplash, install a butcher block counter top, and do a custom frame around my breakfast bar. They did an amazing job! I'm very pleased! They were very professional, very responsive, and on time. Most importantly, they paid great attention to detail. It never felt like they were there to get it done as fast as possible and get out. They took pride in what they were doing and cleaned up after themselves at the end of the day. They went above and beyond what I expected and I'm thankful I found them. I will definitely hire them in the future.

Arron and Keith did a fantastic job replacing our dated backsplash with subway tile and transforming our "builder beige" walls into a modern white. I was really impressed with how some damage we had from a dog gate was repaired - it's now like new ad you'd never know there were holes there prior!
As par-for-the-course with subway tiling, there were a couple of inconsistencies once finished that the guys pointed out to me to ensure I was aware of. Nothing major, but things I'm OCD about, which they totally understood, and are coming out to fix when we start our next project in January.
Arron and Keith strive to blow you away and it shows. They're more than friendly, quite fast, and absolutely reliable. Looking forward to working with them again on the next project!

Working with Mario was great! We wanted a kitchen wall knocked down in our house as well as tile repaired among other things. Mario was very communicative, fair on pricing and very professional! I will be going to him for all my general contracting needs!

Stephen and his crew were great to work with and excellent craftsman. They tiled our new fireplace with a brick veneer and we are very pleased. We couldn't have asked for a better job and he was very competitive on price. Thank you!!

Q & A

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Thumbtack.

How much does it cost to get tiling done?

You can install tiling on your floors, walls, counters, kitchen backsplash, outdoor patio and shower — to name a few places. Tile is beautiful, easy to clean, durable, and resilient against kids and pets. The national average for tile installation cost ranges between $490 and $750. Often, tile installation specialists quote a price per square foot for installation. Costs can increase if you want the pro to supply the tile instead of ordering it yourself. Other factors that can increase cost include specialized installation with a unique design that will require more labor to install.

Prep work will also affect tile installation costs. Demolition of the existing floor, counter or backsplash takes time and energy that will be reflected in the price. Necessary repairs, such as a sub-floor that needs bolstering before tile flooring can be installed, will also increase costs. For tile showers, one example of tile installation cost may be approximately $25 per square foot including all materials and labor. Average tile installation costs for backsplashes may run anywhere from $10 to $40, depending on the materials selected and the amount of labor required. The larger the area where tile is being installed, the lower the price per square foot will likely be. For example, a flooring pro may charge approximately $3.50 per square foot for wood-look tile installation in an area ranging between 6 feet by 24 feet and 8 feet by 48 feet.

How much does it cost to tile a shower?

The cost of tiling a shower depends on two main factors: the size of the shower and the quality of the tiles. In general, most professional tilers charge an average of $25 per square foot of tiled area and the national average cost for a tile installation project is $490-$750. The tiles themselves are the greatest variable; the cost depends on their size, shape, pattern and manufacturer. For example, tile purchased at a volume discount from a big-box store cost far less than tiles made in small batches by an artisan ceramics shop. Prices can range from as little as $1 to $50 or more per square foot of tile. Other factors that will drive up the total tile installation cost are grout and mortar, speciality tiles like bullnose caps or soap holders, and surface prep materials, especially if drywall needs to be replaced before the tile can be installed. Many tile installers will also remove and haul away any old materials from an existing shower installation.

How much does it cost to tile a bathroom?

Tile installation costs are a key part of your bathroom remodel costs. The tile you select (which can range from under $2 per square foot to $50 per square foot or more), the demolition and repair work required prior to installation, and the size of the job will all affect cost. You can install tile in the shower, on the counters, on the wall or on the floor. The national average for tile installation cost ranges between $490 and $750. Bathroom tile is easy to clean and durable for daily life. Here are some examples of average bathroom tile installation costs:

Tile installation at $25 per square foot of tiled bathroom area.

A standard tub and shower combo requires tiles for approximately 60 inches of length. Calculate wall height and add 30 to 36 inches of tub width for the walls at the head and foot of the tub. If the tile walls are 6 feet to 8 feet high, in this example, the tile installation costs would run about $2,000. Price includes materials.

Tile installation on a 3-foot by 5-foot regular tub and shower walls with an 8-foot ceiling: $1,450. Price includes materials.

Tile installation on a 3-foot by 5-foot regular tub and shower walls with a 10-foot ceiling: $1,650. Price includes materials.

How much does it cost to install a ceramic tile floor?

Tile installation costs for ceramic floors depend on the type of tile you select. You can purchase tile that sells for under $2 per square foot or tile that costs $50 per square foot — or more for artisanal and hand-painted tiles. The cost of labor to install a tile floor will also depend on the tile you select. It is far less labor-intensive to install a white 12-inch by 12-inch square tile than a 2-inch by 2-inch hexagonal tile with a distinct pattern. That extra time and energy equates to a higher per-square-foot installation cost. For example, a flooring pro may charge approximately $3.50 per square foot for labor to install wood-look tile in an area ranging between 6 feet by 24 feet and 8 feet by 48 feet. That same pro may charge $6 or more per square foot for a more intricate pattern, or a smaller space. Some installers may charge a minimum day rate for ceramic tile floor installation, such as $340 minimum per day, to cover business expenses and employee wages. If you’re looking to reduce costs, removing your existing flooring and handling any repairs needed can help eliminate prep work costs. Prep work may be charged per hour and could cost anywhere from $25 to $80 per hour or more, depending on the region and the type of repair work necessary.

How much does it cost to install tiles in a kitchen?

One of the most common kitchen upgrades is installing decorative backsplash tiles in the space between the counters and cabinets. It’s a chance for homeowners to get creative while also protecting the kitchen walls from splashes and stains. Like all tiling projects, kitchen tile project costs depend on the tiles you choose, installation materials such as grout and mortar, and any surface materials, like replacement backer board. The national average for a tiled kitchen backsplash is $490-$750. In general, pricing averages $10-$40 per square foot for installation, not including tile. Some professional tile installers have a minimum day rate for small projects, which averages $350.
